If it is synthetic, you can't use it - 10-10-10 is a typical formulation for
chemical fertilizer.  I have never seen an organic fertilizer with numbers
that high (although I have not seen all brands).  More typical would be
3-4-3.

And, remember that unless you are under the $5000 in sales ceiling, you
can't call it organic unless you are certified.  We tell people we use
organic growing methods, but we do not label our produce as organic - either
in talking about it, or in writing.

I was told  we could use the triple things like 10-10-10, etc on organic
plants. Then was told this AM that you can not add nitrogen to corn,
Which is it?
Thanks, Nancy  Zone 5. organic but not certified
